Why are the apps so terrible?

I am basing my comments on these same apps that I use on my Roku.



Apps on the Roamio are absolutely terrible!



Hulu Plus -- 100% garbage. Tivo should just remove it. I get constant video buffering when trying to watch anything. Even old SD shows like The Outer Limits buffers, buffers and buffers. Also when going to a Hulu Plus show from Tivo Central you are taken to Hulu Plus, then it loads the show, then you have to select if you want to play the video.. Seriously? Junk, garbage, needs to just be removed.



MLB.TV -- Junk! The video is fine and I like the GUI. I never get buffering but every time I exit the app after watching a game I get an error on every channel. The error is a banner message dead smack in the center of the screen --> the copyright holder no longer permits viewing of this portion of the program.



Netflix -- This is just about the only app on the Tivo that works well. No buffering and everything works fine. I do get booted out every so often when trying to go back to the episode list on TV shows but it's rare and I can live with that even though this never happens on my Roku.



Vudu -- Works OK, nothing to jump up and down over and nothing to praise. I've only used it once to rent a movie and it worked fine.



YouTube -- Oh my. The GUI is terrible but videos work fine with no buffering or other issues.



I know they won't remove these terrible apps as they are selling notes but dang, they are terrible!
